1993 Acura NSX

[daveyracer]

Well, I needed to get this one done for Saturday.... I think I will make it. Tomorrow nite I will add tail light lense, exhaust from aluminum tubing and other final details. Then I will do a final cleaning, mount it in a case and bring it to its owner. The neat deal is a bunch of his buddies who own these cars are teaming up with a S2K (honda S2000 club) and doing a 120 mile cruise or race which ever they prefer :twisted:
I myself will be riding in the 1:1 version of this car!!!! I am pumped!!

Here is the model built from the Tamiya kit with BBS style wheels I made from a few sets I had around to get it close to the 1:1:

Looks great Dave :cool:

Can't believe you used the Tamiya kit...I could have easily thought you were working as a Revell mole trying to convince the world that their kits really are better than the ones from Japan ;)

That is really nice! I have a 1/12 Rosso kit of one of those I will eventually build one day.

Looks great Dave. Nicely replicated.

Did Revell make an NSX???

Matt,

the ride was incredible, even with my big butt in the car we did about 130 at times..... what a fast car for a naturally aspirated powerplant.

Revell actually did two different NSX's, an original one w/the original wide 5 spoke rims, and a later version w/the multi-spoke-style rims. They were full-detail snap kits that were pretty decent. Not Tamiya quality, but plenty good to work with.
